Allen Iverson done coaching in BIG3 basketball league

The BIG3 announced Wednesday that Hall of Fame guard Allen Iverson is stepping away from coaching in the league due to scheduling conflicts.

“Iverson played a significant role in the launch of the BIG3,” a release sent by BIG3 said, “and while he will shift focus to his own projects this summer, he remains very supportive of the league.”

Not only did Iverson play a pivotal role in the launch of the three-on-three basketball league, but he also coached and played for the 3’s Company team boasting former NBA’ers Baron Davis, Drew Gooden and others. The BIG3 has already settled on a replacement for Iverson in five-time NBA Champion and 2000’s WNBA coach of the year Michael Cooper.
